As part of so-far successful healing from a mild case of bladder cancer this year, I got some good advice from a "health guru" let's call him. For oral care he recommended salt on the tongue several times a day. Granular Celtic sea salt. Not fine. "The less processing the better." For salt.

"Health food" stores sure have a lot of powders and supplements. How are they "processed"?

Missing: a discussion as to whether this was due, solely, to poorly structured study that was shared with clickbait press release and photo or if there were actors (beef producers, anyone) who promoted the story to boost noise against meat substitutes.

The confusion and difficulty of defining UPF (ultra-processed food) was interesting to read and not surprising.

The highest-level summary of the study, that it is healthier to eat less processed foods, is self-evident / well-known. This study doesn't seem to allow going past that conclusion.
